HuFriedyGroup Infection Prevention Guidelines
Do you know if your office is following the proper infection prevention protocol? Instrument processing is a key part of any office infection control program and must be performed properly to help ensure patient safety.
Instrument Processing Area
The dental practice should have a designated central processing area divided physically, or at least spatially, into separate areas for: 1. Receiving, Cleaning & Decontamination 2. Preparation & Packaging 3. Sterilization 4. Storage
Sterilization
Sterile Cassette Storage
Automated Handpiece Cleaner (optional)
Waste Management For regular, sharps and biomedical waste
Instrument Washer
Rinsing
Cleaning Recessed or Countertop Ultrasonic
Wrapping Drawers
Drying Drawers (optional)
Operatory Prep Area
Cleaning, Rinsing, Drying (optional)
Soiled
Sterile
Instrument Processing Guidelines • Work practice controls should be used to minimise handling of loose, contaminated instruments during transportation to the central processing area.
• Dental team members should be trained to use work practices that prevent contamination of clean areas. For example: Sterilised and clean supplies should be stored away from a contaminated area.
IMS™ Infinity Series™ Cassette
For example: Instruments should be transported in a closed container.
1. Receiving, Cleaning & Decontamination
• Cleaning and disinfection should precede the sterilisation process. It should involve removal of debris as well as organic and inorganic contamination. • If visible debris is not removed, it will interfere with microbial inactivation and can compromise the disinfection or sterilisation process. • Puncture/chemical-resistant utility gloves (such as HuFriedyGroup Lilac™ Utility Gloves ) should be worn when handling contaminated instruments and when performing instrument cleaning and decontamination procedures. > Use automated cleaning equipment (e.g., ultrasonic cleaner or washer-disinfector) to increase productivity and decrease worker exposure to blood and body fluids. • Appropriate PPE (mask, protective eyewear and protective clothing) should be worn when splashing or spraying is anticipated during cleaning. • Visibly clean instruments might not be enough to ensure quality of your cleaning protocol. In order to know if your instruments have passed the first step, HuFriedyGroup recommends to use Cleaning Monitors , designed to monitor the efficacy of the cleaning process when using washer- disinfectors and ultrasonic cleaners.
2. Preparation & Packaging
All instruments must be completely dry before packaging. • After cleaning, critical & semi-critical instruments should be inspected for remaining debris. Hinged instruments, such as pliers, bone rongeur forceps, scissors and needle holders should always be lubricated. HuFriedyGroup offers the following for all of your lubrication and maintenance needs: > Shine reNEW Instrument Wipes: Remove stain, rust, corrosion and restore the luster to stainless steel and tungsten carbide instruments, as well as stainless steel cassettes. Shine reNEW eliminates the need for abrasive scrubs and is quick and simple to use. > ILS (Instrument Lubricant Spray) : Used to help keep hinged instruments moving freely. Applied before sterilisation and does not dry out during sterilisation. • Before sterilisation, instruments and other patient-care items should be assembled into sets (cassettes) or trays, and wrapped, packaged, or placed into a container system for sterilisation. Packages should be labeled with the date.
3. Sterilisation
Surface Disinfectant Cleaning and Disinfection are key to maintaining a safe and healthy practice environment, and disinfecting clinical surfaces is frequently performed with staff turning over rooms after each and every patient, as well as the decontamination area after each decontamination cycle. HuFriedyGroup Bactryl™ Wipes and Spray will make it easy for dental practices since it is safe on all hard, non-porous healthcare surfaces, including glass, plastics, stainless steel and vinyl. Wear gloves and other PPE to prevent occupational exposure to infectious agents and hazardous chemicals during surface disinfecting. 4. Storage • Store sterile items in covered or closed cabinets. Never store sterile items above a steriliser. • Examine all sterilised packs before opening for use to ensure the barrier wrap has not been compromised during storage. > Reclean, repack and re-sterilise any instrument package that has been compromised. • Place packages correctly and loosely into the steriliser so the sterilant can properly reach all contents. • A Bowie-Dick Test Pack is designed to detect the presence of residual air in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 134°C for 3.5 minutes. Daily, place the test pack on the bottom shelf, over the drain closest to the door, in an otherwise empty chamber. • Biological monitoring, also known as spore testing, determine whether microorganisms are destroyed from the steam sterilization process. It should be performed weekly. • Mechanical and chemical monitors should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the effectiveness of the sterilisation process. > Each load should be monitored with mechanical and chemical indicators. • A chemical indicator should be placed on the inside of each instrument package to be sterilised. > If the internal indicator is not visible from the outside , another chemical indicator should be added to the outside of package.
